How to Apply
and what are the Deadlines
Applications are accepted throughout the year. However, we remind you that enrollment to a course is subject to seat availability. Online registration is available at www.aigsthailand.com/Online Registration, or you can complete the AIGS Enrollment Application Form and submit your application by mail, fax or email.

The Application Form must be received by AIGS to be considered for admission. Seating in any course will not be granted as “reserved” until AIGS has received all required fees and documents. Please refer to Enrollment Policies and Procedures.

AIGS generally starts new classes every 3 months, however, as seating is limited, we strongly encourage you to apply at least 3 to 4 months before the start date of the course.

Admissions Requirements
Applicants must be at least 18 years-old and have a minimum of a high school diploma, or the equivalent. Application for applicants under the age of 18 years must be signed by a parent or legal guardian. Admissions are not granted to applicants under the age of 16 years-old.

English Proficiency
All classes are taught in English unless otherwise indicated. Students who enroll in courses should have a good command in reading, writing, understanding, and speaking English. Assistance in English will not be provided by AIGS.

Enrollment Policies and Procedures
To guarantee enrollment in a course, AIGS must receive a complete application (with two photos). 50% of tuition fee must be paid 90 days before a class begins, and balance must be paid 30 days before a class begins. It is the student's responsibility to meet the deadlines for payment. Should a student fail to pay the remaining balance by the due dates, AIGS shall have the option of replacing his/her seat with those on the waiting list. Seating is limited and is done on a first-come, first-served basis. No prior experience or knowledge of gems or jewelry is required for the courses except for Synthetic & Treated Gem Identification. To be considered for direct entry into this course you must have successfully completed the AIGS Gem Identification Course or any equivalent course from a reputable gemological school.

Enrollment in the A.G. program
Students enrolling in the A.G. program must finish all required courses within one year of the first date of payment. Beyond the one year period, students will be subjected to any tuition increases that may have occurred. (Example: Old fee = 20,000 Baht, New fee in effect since date of enrollment = 22,000 Baht, Additional amount to be paid = 2,000 Baht.)
